Parslied Potatoes
These tender and buttery potatoes with a golden crust are a welcome side dish to the table!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes size B or smaller, washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon Safflower oil or other neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes smoothly and pat dry on a paper towel; do not wash again. Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foam subsides, add the potatoes and allow them to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and cook for another 2 minutes. Shake the skillet back and forth and sauté for another 4-5 minutes. The potatoes should have a pale golden color with a seared crust that will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and shake the skillet again. Lower the heat to medium to medium-low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and cook for 15 minutes, shaking the skillet every 3-4 minutes to prevent sticking and to ensure an even color. (If you don't have a lid, you can use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil tightly wrapped over the edges, being careful not to burn your fingers.) The potatoes will be done when they are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife. Depending on the size of your potatoes, they may need another 5-10 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, drain the fat from the skillet, reserving the potatoes. Off heat, add the softened butter, parsley, and black pepper to taste. Roll the potatoes to coat. Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Enjoy!
